chess is neither only tactics nor only calculation. chess is full strategy . after placing pieces based on strategy you would able to deploy your tactics . if pieces are not in placed properly you won't deploy your tactical ideas. i guess so. after deploying strategic plan they deploy tactics and calculate maneuvers. possibly that would be a reason if a players rated 1600 + in tactics may or may not rated same in real games . in real games you have to create such pattern or tactics where you can apply your tactics.

There is only one problem with studying tactics, what to do when there isn’t any tactical shots on the chess board. wink.png
